Or should I spring for something else like a 2GB R7 260X or GTX 750 Ti?

聽

I'm doing medium level gaming on 720p, would like a decent medium-high quality graphics card.

Go for the 750 ti if you can

聽

Tears through just about any game @1080p on medium settings; you might be able to get ultra @720p

260x/750ti are much better, also vram =/= performance unless the game requires more, and no game is going to use more than 2GB vram at 720p.聽

That card is definitely not worth it you get so much more performance for your money with a 750 ti
